6120. Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die-Rag-Country Joe & the Fish 1969
I've heard this only a few times. Definitely of its time. It's okay.

6119. Spoonful-Cream 1966 (New addition)
Is this from Strange Brew? I can't place this one.

6118. Middle of the Road-Pretenders 1983/84
One of my favorite cuts from Learning to Crawl. Great rocker.

6117. Anybody Seen My Baby?-Rolling Stones 1997
I don't think I've heard this. I like 'Constant Craving', though.

6116. Cold Hearted-Paula Abdul 1989 (Previous ranking 4801)
One of Paula's best songs.

6115. Radio Song-R.E.M. 1991
I'm sure I've heard this, but can't recall how it goes.

6114. Don't Get Me Wrong-Pretenders 1986
Not quite up to the level of some of their other hits, IMO, but good.

6113. You Want it-Cheap Trick 1988
I'm not much of a fan of their more recent work.

6112. Talk to Me-Sunny and the Sunglows 1963
I've never heard this one.

6111. Kill the King-Rainbow 1978
The only Rainbow songs I'm familiar with are the early 80s ones.

6110. Who's That Girl?-Eurythmics 1984
Nice - not their best, though.

6109. Method of Modern Love-Hall & Oates 1984/85
I've always liked this - their early-mid 80s stuff was great.

6108. Great Balls of Fire-Jerry Lee Lewis 1957/58
A classic, but not a song I'd listen to every day.

6107. Tragedy-Fleetwoods 1961
I'm not sure if I've heard this one. I like their other hits, though.

6106. Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)-Eurythmics 1983
My favorite Eurythmics song. Love it!

6105. Another Night-Real McCoy 1994 (Previous ranking 4368)
I like this - very danceable.

6104. Come Back and Stay-Paul Young 1984
This is my favorite from him as well. Reminds me of my sophomore year of high school.

6103. Some Guys Have All the Luck-Rod Stewart 1984
I've never really warmed up to this in a big way. It's so-so.

6102. Golden Years-David Bowie 1975/76
Remember this from back in the day. One of my faves of his.

6101. A View to a Kill-Duran Duran 1985
I enjoy their music a lot, but this was a song that I didn't take to right away. It's grown on me since.

6119. Strange Brew, as in the Greatest Hits (there was no original album with that name)? Yes, it was on there. But it was originally on Fresh Cream, their first album.

Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag--There's a blast from the past! Haven't heard it in years.

Spoonful--Don't think I know it.

Middle of the Road--A favorite of mine from Chrissie and the gang.

Anybody Seen My Baby--I remember the big controversy about this song and Constant Craving. They really do sound an awful lot alike.

Cold Hearted--Not a bad song, considering it's Paula Abdul.

Radio Song--I'd probably know it if I heard it, but I can't place it at the moment.

Don't Get Me Wrong--Another good song from the Pretenders.

You Want It--Never saw Say Anything. Never heard this song.

Talk to Me--Who and the Whatnow? Don't know the song, don't know the group.

Kill the King--Don't know much by Rainbow.

Who's That Girl--I probably know this, but I keep getting it mixed up in my head with Madonna's song of the same name.

Method Of Modern Love--Like it a lot. I like the spelling. Thought it was clever.

Great Balls of Fire--Goodness gracious, this song is overplayed!

Tragedy--Not a clue.

Sweet Dreams--Never cared much for this.

Another Night--I think I have the cassingle of this somewhere. Pretty good song.

Come Back and Stay--Great song from Paul. I like most of his songs anyway.

Some Guys Have All the Luck--Like the song, like the video. Don't ask me why. I just thought he looked kinda cute dancing around in that suit.

Golden Years--Pretty good Bowie song.

A View to a Kill--I just said No to Duran Duran. Didn't like 'em.

Some Guys-he was so suave and debanair!

Perhaps Woodstock's best performance! Follow that bouncing ball! Open up the pearly gates! LOVE this! WOO HOO!

6119. Spoonful-Cream 1966 (New addition)
I believe I even had this in my 1987 top 10,000. Still easily in there today.

6118. Middle of the Road-Pretenders 1983/84
CRANK it up! LOVE that part where her cat growl combines with the guitar!

6117. Anybody Seen My Baby?-Rolling Stones 1997
My comments exactly.

6116. Cold Hearted-Paula Abdul 1989 (Previous ranking 4801)
Been pretty good all these years.

6115. Radio Song-R.E.M. 1991
Couldn't understand why this wan't even big on radio. Almost as great as their previous 2 top 10's from "Out of time".

6114. Don't Get Me Wrong-Pretenders 1986
I honestly thought this song was inspired from "Walking on Sunshine". Not bad.

6113. You Want it-Cheap Trick 1988
Not even on my box set. One Trick song I don't know.

6112. Talk to Me-Sunny and the Sunglows 1963
This was big 40 years ago this week. Not as good as "Martian Hop" or "Down at Papa Joe's" though.

6111. Kill the King-Rainbow 1978
Not great, but certainly not bad.

6110. Who's That Girl?-Eurythmics 1984
Good, but one of my lesser fave hits of theirs.

6109. Method of Modern Love-Hall & Oates 1984/85
Disagree with you, Sat. Loved this from Day 1, and my fave of theirs after "Rock and Soul" was released.

6108. Great Balls of Fire-Jerry Lee Lewis 1957/58
I think last time I was ready to flame you why this was so low. Granted this is a personal list, but this belongs in virtually every oldies countown, let alone eternally in my top 1000.

6107. Tragedy-Fleetwoods 1961
Pleasant, just as good as Thomas Wayne's original.

6106. Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)-Eurythmics 1983
That synth was PURE 80's.

6105. Another Night-Real McCoy 1994 (Previous ranking 4368)
One of 1994's best. Recently burned the CD, and also eternally in my top 1000.

6104. Come Back and Stay-Paul Young 1984
Just great!

6103. Some Guys Have All the Luck-Rod Stewart 1984
One of his few I don't rave over. The Persuasions' original was better.

6102. Golden Years-David Bowie 1975/76
Sadly, he will be remembered more of an "80's guy". I still like his 70's stuff the best; this, Fame, and Suffragette City RULE!!!

6101. A View to a Kill-Duran Duran 1985
This is just about my all-time fave of theirs. Well-done!

6108. Well if this were a list of oldies classics, I would have it higher.

6106. What a coincidence!

[Railyn]

6120. Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die-Rag-Country Joe & the Fish 1969
This was heard a lot in my house. "Well it's 123 what are we fighting for? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn. Next stop is VietNam." Popular amongst my dad's crowd.

6119. Spoonful-Cream 1966 (New addition)
Not familiar.

6118. Middle of the Road-Pretenders 1983/84
I like this one.

6117. Anybody Seen My Baby?-Rolling Stones 1997
I like this one. Sounds a tad like Constant Craving but I didn't hear it until someone pointed it out to me.

6116. Cold Hearted-Paula Abdul 1989 (Previous ranking 4801)
Ew. I thought she was saying Cold Hearted Slave.

6115. Radio Song-R.E.M. 1991
It's ok.

6114. Don't Get Me Wrong-Pretenders 1986
Love this one.

6113. You Want it-Cheap Trick 1988
Also from the Joe Dirt soundtrack. A good song.

6112. Talk to Me-Sunny and the Sunglows 1963
Huh?

6111. Kill the King-Rainbow 1978
Not familiar.

6110. Who's That Girl?-Eurythmics 1984
Eh. Weird video.

6109. Method of Modern Love-Hall & Oates 1984/85
Love the song and the video.

6108. Great Balls of Fire-Jerry Lee Lewis 1957/58
Not bad but so overplayed.

6107. Tragedy-Fleetwoods 1961
My mom searched for this one for years. Finally got it from Rhino. Probably her all time favorite song.

6106. Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)-Eurythmics 1983
Eh. Used to love it but getting tired of it.

6105. Another Night-Real McCoy 1994 (Previous ranking 4368)
Eh. Cookie cutter dance music from the early 90s.

6104. Come Back and Stay-Paul Young 1984
Love this song!

6103. Some Guys Have All the Luck-Rod Stewart 1984
I like Robert Palmer's version much better.

6102. Golden Years-David Bowie 1975/76
I like this one.

6101. A View to a Kill-Duran Duran 1985
Good song and good video. They were HUGE James Bond fans and this was such an honor for them. John Taylor collected Aston Martins. Some rich fan gave him one that had an ejector button and a small man popped out of the roof.

Well that thing about the Aston Martin is just scary! LOL!

6116. Hmmmm....I'm gonna have to re-check, I coulda sworn they left the snake off!

Just checked my sister's Paula Abdul CD, and you're right. I always thought it was Cold Hearted Snake!

SAT-Sissy's said:

6116. I have it on tape!

6113. It's not too bad, considering the year! Try to find a used copy of the soundtrack! There is another KILLER song on there called Keeping the Dream Alive by a McCartney sound alike group.

6104. An MTV hit; it may not have gone top 40, but MTV played the crap out of it.

6113 - Oh cool - thanks Adam
